What We Do

Business

We have the capability within the firm to handle the legal requirements of businesses whatever their stage of development ­ from their initial inception and incorporation through to their flotation and beyond. Our clients cover a broad spectrum of commercial sectors.

Clients' accomplishments and their hopes for the future are always our starting point and we expect to become closely involved with their business and the creation of their future business plans. Experience has shown that our early involvement has helped our clients avoid many of the pitfalls in today¹s competitive market place.

Several of our partners are invited to play an active role in commercial life as company directors, sitting on the boards of both large public corporations and smaller private companies. This coupling of legal creativity with a practical commercial approach means we can help you create the right environment within which your business may flourish. Taxation and tax planning is a particular area of skill within the firm and we are able to plan efficient tax structures for both the business and, where appropriate, the senior executives or shareholders within it.

While acting for businesses of all sizes the firm has a special emphasis on advising entrepreneurial businesses and their owners. Our established skills in tax planning, company sales and acquisitions, intellectual property and employment have been a valuable tool for our growing clientele in high-tech and e-commerce businesses.

Our expanding banking and insolvency practice advises on a range of lending and security issues for banks and borrowers.

In the field of employment, we have acted for companies, senior executives, company directors and those with specialist City-orientated skills.

Our Intellectual Property Group is experienced in providing advice on the protection, exploitation and enforcement of all aspects of clients' intellectual property rights.
